Listing System services

Cliff Lim Kok Hwee — Wed, 08 Jun 2005 04:35:00 GMT

Hi Forum,

Is there a HP-UX and Solaris command to check if a daemon is running or stopped? (like I could use lssrc in IBM AIX environmnt)

Query: SUN Solaris #modinfo

For example

On IBM AIX,

#lssrc -a

Subsystem Group PID Status
syslogd ras 5198 active
sendmail mail 6452 active
portmap portmap 6710 active
inetd tcpip 6966 active
snmpd tcpip 7224 active
dpid2 tcpip 7482 active
muxatmd tcpip 7740 active
biod nfs 8776 active
rpc.statd nfs 9038 active
rpc.lockd nfs 9296 active

Thanks/cliff

hi,

for SUN's modinfo, kmadmin is an alternate command in HPUX(man kmadmin for more info).

as for services/daemons running, i can only think of "ps -ef" for all processes running.

Hi Forumers,

Any other advise.

ps -ef |grep

Is the only option I always doing :(

I was thinking of listing active system daemons to report.

Thanks/cliff

hi cliff,

if u refer to this:

http://www.freelab.net/unix/hp-ux/chap06_proc.html

ps and top commands r the closest to lssrc for HPUX.

You can try with a script as,

# for service in `grep -Ev '^#|^$' /etc/services | awk '{ print $1 }'`
do
ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep $service
done

on hp-ux. But Linux is having service command and ps -A to get all deamons only.

hth.

Hey;

Using the assumption that daemons will *normally* be listening on a network port, you could get lsof to list out open network ports:

lsof -i | awk '$0 !~ /^COMM/ {print $1}'

As caveated; daemons don't necessarily operate network ports, but most of them do...

HTH;

Do not use grep. Use UNIX95 variable instead.

With grep, it is problem. Say you have a daemon as xxx and xxxyyy
if you do ps -ef| grep xxx, both will be listed. With UNIX95 variable, you can do it as follows.

UNIX95= ps -C xxx

UNIX95 is xpg4 conformance. For details see ps man page.
